Question is the MPE all titanium?

M2driverWV · 03-21-2019, 02:13 PM

Is the whole system titanium or just the muffler itelf? I've seen some with the pipe from the downpipe back look rather rusty in color. Not sure if that is acual rust or not?

FWIW, they do sell titanium exhaust tips. But honestly the CF tips look better.

The entire system is stainless steel.

The muffler is titanium. Everything else SS.

Proof?

Actually, I would tend to agree that (at least the outside of) the muffler is titanium and the pipes are stainless, due to this picture. The muffler matches closely to the tips which are known titanium.

For anyone wondering, I've changed 3 MPE exhausts due to the muffler sidewall cracking due to it being titanium and having all the muffler weight on it. No one welds titanium where I live so every time it breaks BMW would replace it under warranty. Next time it breaks, I'm chopping muffler off. BS engineering design of both the muffler and BT system. Rant over

Also, it's available for you guys to look up in the press release or just check out the M4 exhaust. Same thing. SS everywhere; Titanium muffler.

The MPE is made of stainless steel. The optional tips can be had in titanium..
